After wild six weeks, Trump tells Congress ‘We are just getting started’

Six weeks after his turbulent return to the White House, President Donald Trump stole the platform in front of the sharply divided conference – and showed how much Washington changed in such a short time.
“It was only a quick work that does not soften to enter the largest and most successful era in our country’s history. We have accomplished more in 43 days more than most departments in four years or eight years – and we just started,” Mr. Trump announced in his first joint speech to Congress since his return to the White House.
The speech comes in a land race in American history. Mr. Trump has grown billionaire Elon Musk Reducing the federal governmentPutting thousands of workers in unpredictable mutations. Mr. Trump and Vice President JD Vance prepared the President of Ukraine in the Oval Office last Friday, then cut military aid to the US ally. The stock market has just passed a two -day sale due to the president’s decision to impose large fees on Canada and Mexico, the best commercial partners in the United States.
Why did we write this
In his first speech to Congress since the restoration, President Donald Trump described his achievements on the border and waste control in the government. On the economy, he warned that there may be little turmoil. “
Confused presidential headlines and speeches in the union are often boring laundry lists for policy proposals. This was lighter on that front than usual-until compared to the previous addresses of Mr. Trump-and more focused on communicating political grades. The president brought guests to highlight the political issues of spaciousness, from migration and crime to sexually transformed women in sport.
the The same speech It is unlikely to have a permanent legacy. What matters more to Mr. Trump’s political future is the issue that the elections handed over – inflation. If the customs tariff, the huge government hairstyles, the proposed tax plans, and other measures help in strengthening the economy, then the classification of its approval is fixed or rising, and it will have more space for its other policies. If you lead to high prices and high unemployment rates, his presidency may soon be on rocks.
Defending definitions while shaking the markets
Mr. Trump has spent a large part of his long speech blames his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, for high inflation, while he was defending the customs tariff plan. In a prominent moment, he implicitly admitted that definitions may cause short -term economic pain.
“The definitions revolve around making America rich again and make America great again. This happens, and it will happen quickly. There will be little turmoil, but we are fine with that. It will not be much.”
He said that the broader mutual definitions would fall on April 2.
“I wanted to make it on the first of April, but I did not want to accuse him on the day of April lie,” he said. “I am a very fairy person.”
The incision in the room was clear all night, in both directions. Shortly after Mr. Trump began his speech, Democrat Green stood from Texas and shouted that he had no mandate to reduce Medicid (as it might happen through the Republican legislation), and he was waving his bronching to the president. After refusing to sit, he was accompanied outside the house room, where some Republican lawmakers chanted “Sha-nah-nah-nah, hey, goodbye.”
Mr. Trump opened his speech to boast about his victory in the elections in 2024. Al -Tawil countryside to make misleading claims About widespread fraud of social security based on deceptive personalities about people over the age of 100 in the program database that it suggested receiving benefits. He was executed moments of TV, such as making a 13 -year -old child who was diagnosed with brain cancer, an honorary American secret service agent.
The party flourishes on both sides
Once again, Mr. Trump coincides with the Democrats.
“This is my fifth speech to Congress, and again, I look at the Democrats in front of me, and I realize that there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy, or make them stand or smile. He said early.” For the sake of our nation, let us work together, and let us make America great again. “
Later on his statements to ridicule the Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts as “Bukahontas”, he called him a long time ago. Senator Warren applauded sarcastically, and then reported that the speech of Mr. Trump was “one lie that accumulated over another.”
Democrats – and they have greatly failed – tried to find a coherent way to retreat. While Mr. Trump was proud of his strong support for law enforcement, some shouted in the January 6 room, referring to the riot of the Capitol for his supporters, who hit many police officers. Democratic lawmakers in degrees and diameter were presented, although most of them were not shown on television broadcasting. Black and white signs say “stealing musk” and “error.” But the separation was separated.
Mr. Trump went very long, and ignited at the present time. He was on the platform for a little less than 100 minutes, the longest joint session or the state of the union in modern history.
“It is time, so I promise you to be much shorter than I just saw,” said Democratic Senator at Michigan Elisa Slocine when I started Democratic response.
